Golden, fluffy and drizzled with warm maple sauce, these Banana Pancakes are the perfect treat for slow mornings or an easy weekend brunch. Made in Nuovva® stainless steel frying pans, the banana slices cook beautifully with a crisp edge and soft centre.

Finished with a rich, buttery maple sauce and a touch of crème fraîche, this recipe turns simple ingredients into a sweet, indulgent stack you’ll want to make again and again.

Ingredients:

Pancake Mixture

  • 200g self-raising flour
  • 200ml milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 bananas
  • Oil for cooking

Maple Sauce

  • 250g maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 150ml crème fraîche

Tools You Will Need:


Directions:

Step 1) Make the pancake batter by mixing the flour, milk, eggs and baking powder together until smooth.

Step 2) Peel and slice the bananas on an angle for a greater surface area.

Step 3) Heat a little oil in your Nuovva® large stainless steel frying pan over a medium heat.

Step 4) Using a fork, dip a banana slice into the batter, generously coating it.

Step 5) Place the coated banana slice into the frying pan and cook on each side for 1–2 minutes until golden. You can cook up to 6 banana pieces at a time. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6) In your small frying pan, combine the maple syrup, butter and crème fraîche to make the sauce.

Step 7) Bring the sauce to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly.

Step 8) Serve by stacking the banana pancakes and drizzling generously with warm maple sauce.

TIP: Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the banana pieces - leaving space helps them crisp up and cook evenly.
